Jones: don’t question my training methods

Eddie Jones, the England rugby coach, has escalated a club-versus-country row by saying figures in the club game have no right to question his training methods. Bruce Craig, the owner of Bath, criticised Jones last week for the number of players suffering injuries during England training sessions. Jones’s training methods are notoriously intense, but the coach retorted by saying nobody in the club game “has the right to tell a coach how to train a Test team”.
